Abolish ICE

#NoKings

NEW: The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.” This is a developing story.

I’ve been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. We will share more information soon.

Speaking as someone who spent their childhood fearing ICE raids: please refrain from spreading rumors about ICE raids. If you cannot /personally/ vouch for the source or confirm the veracity of the claim, then please don't post it on social media. Please, and thank you.

Trump is gutting healthcare, dismantling our education system, and destroying the economy— all while enriching himself. His secret police are kidnapping our friends and neighbors, and disappearing them without due process. Enough is enough. Let's take a stand against tyranny, together: #NoKings!

btw, posts like "time to get our 2nd amendment on" may be protected speech, but there's also a chance it'll get you cited in a bulletin focused on threats to cops quietly circulated to 7000 police agencies. Just food for thought. www.wired.com/story/no-kin...

SCOOP: Details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED. UNPAYWALLED:

I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who said "the whole country is our property." DHS claims ICE wan't there — but I have video, and it may've still been a DHS team. religionnews.com/2025/06/13/i...

Interesting. Polls are showing American voters don’t like the idea of being under military occupation by a wildly angry game show host for no reason www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you are an artist (or a musician or a writer or any kind of creative) please keep doing your art and don’t let anyone tell you that “now isn’t the time” because NOW IS EXACTLY THE TIME. Art is power. Art is disruption. Art is resistance. There’s a reason the fascists always come for the artists.

Please remember that a police “primer for protesters” that tells you to report suspicious behavior to the police stands a good chance of getting police escalation and making the protest less safe for everyone.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. Our incredible Bargaining Committee worked into the night for us and reached a Tentative Agreement at around 5am! 🙏💪🥳🎉 As of now there will be NO STRIKE! Please continue enjoying all our work, knowing you all helped us get here! #unionstrong #voxunion #1u

Really good piece this.

In San Francisco, the march to City Hall begins at Dolores Park, which (for those who don't live here) is between The Mission, a largely Latino neighborhood, and The Castro, a largely gay neighborhood. Always a lovely place for any kind of gathering, but feels very apt right now.

DOGE affiliates Kenneth Jackson and Nate Cavanaugh “disabled and restricted access to the Institute's FOIA system, terminated the employees responsible for processing FOIA requests, and restricted the use of Institute financial resources.”

Border Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard. Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

Happy FOIAFriday the 13th! NEW issue of my newsletter is out. In March, I filed a #FOIA request with the US Institute of Peace just as DOGE was taking over the agency. This week USIP sent me the most incredible response to a #FOIA request I have ever received. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
